Thankful

So many things to be thankful for....

These 2 little faces that came running to the kitchen this morning

even though they steal my bed (and my sleep) on a regular basis

and this guy that teaches them about so many things..

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Baby B

I took some photos of this sweet little boy last Friday. He is just precious. I could eat him up!!

I ♥ Faces Photo Challenge - Sun Flare

This week's challenge is sun flare. I posted this picture not too long ago of Claire, but thought I'd post it again for this. Even though this is a bit out of focus because she was running..go figure, I love this picture of her!! Click above to see more entries.

For Laura Beth..

I tried to capture some shots of Carolina for Laura Beth, but let me start this by saying this is how Carolina felt about my camera :-)!



I did get some sweet ones, though she's not smiling in the majority of them. She was just not too sure about me & that camera!!













Big brother was a ham and would've smiled all day long!


She finally got what she really wanted..her lovie, paci & her momma!!




Soon, I really will post pictures of my own kids again! Everyone has been so gracious letting me practice taking pictures of them, plus I've been busy at work. I'm hoping to work on my own Christmas card pictures this weekend...that usually just results in frustration, but I'm crossing my fingers!!

another practice round..

so i got another practice round in this week. lyla let me come try to get a few shots of the girls for their christmas cards. i'm not posting any of those here, but thought i'd throw in a few others. lyla warned me that mamie was a fireball when the camera was out, and she lived up to that. she reminded me so much of claire. despite that, i think we still ended up with some sweet shots of her, even if alot of them are of her back or profile :)! lyla - thanks again! i hope you find something you can use!!

More of My Little Guy

A little guy that's getting bigger by the day I should say! I can hardly pick him up any more & Lord help me when he's not cooperating. I need to really beef up my upper body strength!!

As I mentioned in the photo challenge below, about 2 weeks ago I took Grant to a church around the corner one afternoon to try and get some fall shots. I wanted to go there because their grounds were literally covered in freshly fallen yellow leaves. However, most of the shots I got that were any good are only of his head & not in the leaves! He was distracted in the leaves by a ladybug and that was all she wrote!

I did get a few that I really like. I've realized that I tend to shoot ALOT of really tight head shots, so I'm going to try and branch out from that a bit next time!
